Falling Water kinetic sculpture by David C. Roy © 2008

For more info: http://www.woodthatworks.com/kinetic-sculptures/falling-water/ This sculpture is mounted on a 14 foot high wall. It has 5 independent patterning wheels and 3 drive springs that cause it to run for 22 hours per winding. The sound it makes is a pleasantly random soft clicking that you only hear if you listen for it.

Naming a sculpture is hard. We often live with one for a long time before a name sticks. Marji suggested the name "Falling Water" as we were hiking to a lake. We both looked at each other and knew it was right.

kinetic = movement. so its just art that moves

@AngelBiLove mhmmm... Hope you realize i was answering to a discussion on the categorisation and naming of 'kinetic art'. If you bothered to reply to my comment you should of looked into it and its source... and to also look for the fact that I am British... I know Americans aren't all idiots either so stop your prejudice.

"Cause those people dont know that kind of elimentary OBVIOUS knowledge." mm... yes... grammatically sound.

Also... comment pwned. Thankyou
